Kanye West's three-piece collab with French label A.P.C. sold out just about as soon as it hit stores (yes, even that plain white $120 T-shirt went quickly!), so it's no surprise that Kim Kardashian's baby daddy has his eyes set on another foray into fashion. He's working on a new collection, under his own name, that will be shown at New York Fashion Week in September! Kanye didn't have much luck designing his own label in the past, with it getting universally panned by fashion critics, but he probably has a little extra swing in his step following the success of his A.P.C. line. So, what can we expect from Kanye this time around? Will he stick to the tees and hoodies that served him so well from his most recent collab? According to published reports, he is creating a unisex collection of 100 pieces. So maybe T-shirts that he AND Kim can wear together? To be honest, I'm kind of excited to see what he comes up with. What do you want to see from Kanye's new fashion line? read more

When does a classic plain white T-shirt—the perfect summer wardrobe staple—become the ultimate luxury item? When Kanye West puts his name on it, that's when. The rapper and Kim Kardashian baby-daddy recently teamed up with French casualwear label A.P.C. (read all about the collab, right here!) to design a capsule collection of four basics pieces—one short-sleeve hooded sweatshirt, a long-sleeve hoodie, a "Hip-Hop T-shirt," and jeans. The goodies range in price from $120 (for the tee) to $280 (for the hoodie). Yes. That's right. The plain white 100 percent cotton "Hip-Hop T-Shirt" costs $120. Let's all take a minute to let that sink in. While I haven't personally had the privilege of trying it on, the top is described as "very loose," and there don't seem to be any real design features distinguishing this tee from, say, most other luxury-level plain tees. Short sleeves? Check. Ribbed neckline? Check. The only unique selling point seems to be the words "A.P.C. KANYE" silkscreened inside the T-shirt's neckline. The simple and straightforward nature of the tee's design hasn't stopped folks from snapping it up, though. At time of publication, there were rampant online reports that the entire Kanye West for A.P.C. collection read more

Have you ever bought something because Oprah endorsed it? I'm guilty, many times over, and I just may follow her lead again on this line of T-shirts made of soft pima and organic cotton that she's stocked her closet with. She just purchased 14 pieces from fashion brand Skin, including an ombre T-shirt, organic easy pullover, and rib V-neck tunic. Let's take a closer look: LS Crewneck T-shirt Ombre SS T-shirt Organic Easy Pullover Rib V-Neck Tunic This fall, Skin will launch a capsule sportswear collection of blazers, sweaters, pants, and tops at Barneys. Here's one look that will be on sale, starting Sept. 1. Would you wear any of these looks? 'Fess up: Have you ever bought something because Oprah endorsed it? read more

At this point, making fun of Taylor Swift's love life is old news, but for some reason, Abercrombie & Fitch decided to jump on the bandwagon and sell a line of T-shirts on the subject that reads, "# more boyfriends than t.s." The T-shirt seems harmless to me, but Taylor's fans are pretty outraged and have taken action against Abercrombie with a petition on Change.org that asked the retailer to stop selling the shirt. One fan went as far as posting the phone number for Abercrombie's public relations line on a YouTube video. According to BuzzFeed, those who tried calling received this message: “Thank you for calling Abercrombie & Fitch public relations. If you are calling regarding the Taylor Swift T-shirt, please note this is no longer available.” Who knew Taylor Swift had such rabid fans? The truth is, many of them are probably Abercrombie shoppers, so it makes sense that the company would remove the tees. Do you think Taylor's fans are too sensitive, or do you think it was unnecessary for Abercrombie to make fun to sell tees? Discuss! read more

Remember when printed T-shirts were a thing? I have to admit that it's been quite a while since they were a staple in my adult closet, but there definitely was a time when I was so obsessed that I collected them in droves. My favorite was a black off-the-shoulder style with an eagle printed on it. I wore it with flared jeans (don't laugh, this was the early 2000s) and pointy-toe heels. It was very rock-chick awesome. 3.1 Phillip Lim spring 2013 Christopher Kane spring 2013 Now, thanks to T-shirts from designers like Phillip Lim and Christopher Kane, that spirit of irreverent glamour is back in a big way. Both designers offered up their own versions of printed T-shirts on their spring 2013 runways, and both paired them with lace and florals for a softer, updated take on grunge. It's an idea that feels fresh for spring, and best of all, it's totally easy to wear and not impossible to make your own. I like the idea of dressing them up with a skirt and ankle-strap pumps or wearing them with Converse and boyfriend jeans for a nouveau-'90s vibe. Some chic options below.

All my thoughts today are with the people of Boston, who are sitting at home and watching this manhunt coverage slowly unfold. If you're feeling helpless and want to find a way to help the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, Adidas is coming to the plate with one option. The retailer is selling a "Boston Stands as One" T-shirt, in which 100 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the One Fund Boston, an organization that was created to help those affected by the bombing. The shirt costs $26.20, a play on the marathon's distance of 26.2 miles. “The selflessness and compassion demonstrated by the city of Boston, the first responders, the Boston Athletic Association, and all marathon volunteers in providing assistance to the injured have stuck with us and inspired us,” Adidas America president Patrik Nilsson told WWD. “We commend Boston — and those associated with the city and the marathon — for their reaction to this very challenging situation. We applaud them for standing together as one on Monday and in the days which have followed.” The T-shirt is on sale on Adidas' website. If I hear about more items that go on sale to benefit read more

Earlier this week, we talked about two major spring beauty trends (head scarves and wet hair)—and now, I want to chat for a sec about three easy, everyday fashion trends that I’m predicting will be huge this summer: embellished cutoffs, yellow dresses, and statement tees. First up Trend #1: The Embellished Cutoff The classic cuffed jort will always, always be a seasonal staple, but it’s her quirky cousin—the embellished cutoff—that I think will be huge for summer 2013. Stars like Kat Graham, left, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (crystal-encrusted floral shorts? oh, yes) are already on board. The style is flirty, fun, and easy (just pair with a breezy, tucked-in blouse—and you’re done!). I say: Do. What about you? Do you think the embellished cutoff trend is a Do or Don't? Trend #2: The Yellow Dress Over the past few years, the little yellow dress has essentially replaced the LBD for summer. Chloë Grace Moretz, left, opts to wear ‘em for day. (How cute is that swingy neon yellow number?) And Vanessa Hudgens takes the look into night with sequins. I’m blond, so I’ve always been a little scared of the LYD—but I think it’s a bold, playful Do on everyone else. read more

Heidi Klum's six-year-old son is getting a very early start in the fashion biz. Johan Samuel is designing a line of limited-edition tees for mom Heidi's clothing line, Truly Scrumptious, at Babies "R" Us. He's come up with some monster-themed designs, according to Us Weekly, that were drawn by hand. Doesn't his clothing line sound adorable? I'm guessing he had a little help from his mom, who knows a thing or two about fashion design from all those years on Project Runway. The best part of Heidi and Johan's efforts: Babies "R" Us is donating $50,000 to aid the group Save the Children. I can't wait to see what Johan designed! He's certainly giving Romeo Beckham, Victoria Beckham's young son, a run for his money in the fashion world (remember when Romeo modeled for that Burberry ad campaign?). Do you think it's cute that Heidi Klum's son is designing a line for Babies "R" Us? Will you check it out? Photo: Getty Images read more

If Cara Delevingne's wardrobe and these three new collabs are any indication, graphic tees are really having a moment right now. I'm dying to wear them with my favorite skinny jeans and cutoff shorts once the weather warms up. Check 'em out. Uniqlo x Andy Warhol pop art graphic tees, $20 each, Uniqlo.com What do Andy Warhol and Jimi Hendrix have in common? A lot more than you’d think!

YOLO (you only live once) may have been the most ubiquitous acronym of 2012 and the rapper Drake wants you to know it's all because of him. You may recall that he used the phrase in his song, "The Motto." Instead of taking pride in popularizing the acronym, he's taken to Instagram to post pictures of T-shirts with YOLO printed on them (from Macy's and Walgreens) and now, he's insisting that both stores owe him money for using it! "Walgreens...you gotta either chill or cut the cheque," he wrote. Do you use the phrase YOLO? Does he have a point or does YOLO belong to everyone? read more

The tees just went on sale today for $35 apiece and all proceeds from their sales go to benefit The Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at New York University. read more
